note FREEZE is no boolean indeed, its a percentage value 1-100% but blizzard capped it to 31 so you need to edit itemstatcost.txt

set it to 100% to make it work like the old pre-expansion ice blink
[/code][/quote]

So, in gems.txt, the Cham weapon attribute is Freeze-1-1. Does this mean that using the Cham rune on a weapon only bestows a 1% chance of inflicting Freeze?

[Nefarius]

the exact effectivity is based on player level vs. target level (similar to what they did to chance to make monster flee), but the higher the percentage the lower the downgrade. hence 100% nullifies the downgrade. which wouldent even be possible in normal lod because of the 31% cap thru itemstatcost.txt. If you ever wondered why it shows +# freeze target in the game ratter then just "freeze target" as it used to, this is the reason. If you check out uniqueitems.txt you will see some of the rarer unique items actually had more then 1% in lod, but 2 or 3% isnt really alot eather.

[Ruvanal]

Nefarius,

You should recheck your sources on how the freeze modifier is being used. From mine and others at the Amazon Basin that have worked rather extensively with this, it is not a percentage value. If it was then tests with only an Ice Blink (freeze=1) would rarely have frozen anything. The various testing that was done matched what is described at Arreat Summit.
http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/items/magic.shtml

Hit Freezes Target
This bonus is pretty obvious. Items with Hit Freezes Target has a chance to Freeze Targets. Formulae:

The chance of freezing is 50 + (AL + (B*4) - DL) * 5
AL = attacker level
DL = defender level
B = freeze bonus from item (default is 1)

if it's ranged, the AL has a -6 penalty.
if it's ranged, the chance is divided by 3

freeze length = (chance - roll) * 2 + 25 frames
with a minimum length of 25 frames (1 second) and a maximum length of 250 frames (10 seconds)

With the effect working this way a max value of 31 should normally be more than enough for most players needs.

The "Chance to Blind Target" modifier works in a similar way and the formula is listed on the page.

Your note on poison damage not getting lowered in PvP does not match a check I did on this in the last couple of months for tommi. In it the poison rate was being reduced to exactly the expected values though numerous tests with one or more sources of poison. I expect that the claim that it is not reduced is because most players are clueless as to how to correctly calculate the amount of poison damage that multiple sources will end up causing. They usually think it will be much lower than it really is.

Reduce Poison Duration (res-pois-len) in not in frames. It is a percentage resistance in the same manner as fire resitance or cold resistance is. It only works against theplayers resistance to poison duration (poison restance only works against the rate not the duration). It is capped at 75% as the other resitance are and the nightmare and hell resistance penalties will also apply to characters resistance to poison duration. This is an undisplayed resistance in the game.

[quote=Nefarius";p="81678"]hence 100% nullifies the downgrade. which wouldent even be possible in normal lod because of the 31% cap thru itemstatcost.txt. [/quote]

Lets try the formula using a freeze=31, melee attack, attacker level 1 and defender level 98.
The chance of freezing is 50 + (AL + (B*4) - DL) * 5
chance = 50 + (1+(31*4)-98 )*5
= 50 + (1+124-98 )*5
= 50 + 27*5
=50+135 = 185% chance of freezing

You shouldn't even need anywhere near the max value in most cases from the looks of this.

Edit: $%@!@#$@$%% smiles

[FoxBat]

And I've changed this exact code area with the freeze chance, so I know it's not exactly a percent. Though maybe Nefarius is referring to it in that way as an expediant.

For some reason I recall posion length not displaying exactly the values that were entered in the text file. I might be wrong on that, there might be a cap or quantization, or something else altogether.

Ahhhhh . . . but in my Zy-El mod, characters and monsters can go to level 5000. So, a level 1 char using a freeze=31 melee attack on a level 5000 monster:

The chance of freezing is 50 + (AL + (B*4) - DL) * 5
chance = 50 + (1+(31*4)-5000 )*5
= 50 + (1+124-5000 )*5
= 50 + (-4875)*5
=50-24375 = -24325% chance of freezing

The attacker gets frozen instead!!!

All kidding aside though, I guess that means 0% chance of freezing. However, knowing the way this forumla works does make me want to increase the max value for the Freeze parameter.

[Nefarius]

@Ruvanal, I referred to pre 1.08 iceblink it was a solid 100% as the value was a boolean back then in the wonderful days of stabil 1.06, this is why many people used it on lance barbs back then because of the pretty unfair advantage it gave players over everything in the attack radius.
Just as a side note, when I speak about pre-lod I refer to 1.06, 1.08 for classic d2 was nothing else but the "bad lod features" in a preview, it was no longer "classic".

Under d2/lod circumstances the (unreachable) maximum of 31 is indeed enough, but as pointed out by kato, if you have very high level monsters this will become pretty obsolete.

Indeed, I only listed the poison damage bug because of those claims you will find on 99.99% of all existing d2 sites. Im going to remove this for now. Thought I know I will get atleast 200 emails saying its bugged in the neatr future...

I didn't revise the resistance part totally yet. I know the reduced frames thing is incorrect, but I have nearly forgotten about this, thx for pointing this out.

@Kato, there must be a check in place that will set it to 0 if its smaller then 0, I dont think blizzard's coders would have done such a n00bish mistake.

Try to see what happens It doesn't take so long to check this out, just to be sure. Any way -> list updated. mail filter is set to block every email containing "poison" and "bug"

EDIT: It shouldn't be so hard to fool the game to reset the freeze chance to 100% like in classic d2. one only needs to change it to be as the following:

chance = 50 + (1+(stat*4)-lvl )*5

to

chance = 100 + (1+(stat*4)+lvl )*5

This is not one of those close-to-impossible tasks.

[Nefarius]

I really dont think they would do such a lame mistake, but oops, havent they done something even lamer with reanimate

[Ruvanal]

The calculated chance value is compared against a random roll (RND(100) I belive). With roll=RND(100) {range 0 to 99) and the test being If(roll<chance)... a negative chance would never succeed and not really be in need of a min cap on what the chance could end up being. This failure condition matchs what some of the AB posters noted in their test using some lower level charcters vs. higher level monsters. The point of complete failure was occuring at the correct points in the clvl-mlvl comparison. A similar result was note at the 100+% point if they didn't kill the targets outright.

@Ruvanal, I referred to pre 1.08 iceblink it was a solid 100% as the value was a boolean back then in the wonderful days of stabil 1.06, this is why many people used it on lance barbs back then because of the pretty unfair advantage it gave players over everything in the attack radius.

And I was refering to it would not be needed for most modders to raise the cap to achieve 100% results. Yes I am aware of mods like the Zy-El mod that are pushing for very high monster/player levels, but that does not seem to be norm for most of the modders that I have seen posting. And as such they would not need to mess around with this cap for the most part. If they wanted a gaureenteed freeze they could probably get by with a freeze=27 using a more standard range of clvl and mlvl.

Foxbat:

For some reason I recall posion length not displaying exactly the values that were entered in the text file. I might be wrong on that, there might be a cap or quantization, or something else altogether.

The game will cap the total duration of poison damage on an item at 255 frames, even if it is derived from more than one mod on the item. I am guessing that this is what you may have run into. It was only when trying to push single item durations past 255 frames that I started getting screwy results (and realized what was happening behind the lying character screen). Your results in this area will also encounter problems if you are using an item that the game has not 'saved' yet (made in cube but not left your possession for the play session).

So, I've been deluding myself all this time that att-skill works? You mean it's completely nonfunctional in all versions?

I could have sworn it was working...no time to test it tonight...Please tell me that's a typo and that I won't have to go back and fix those, thus delaying 2.21 of my mod by another week...

[Hammerman]

Just some minor nits.

Skill Charges: There are some more calculations involved if you use negative values or use 0 for some of the input fields. See my post here: viewtopic.php?t=8480&highlight=charges

Indestructible: only breaks if the item has any +durabilty on it. Don't know if it also applies to % increaesd dur.

+% damage vs Demons & undead: In 1.09, it is no longer bugged as you describe, it adds up to non-weapon %ed and stat bonus now.

knockback: It's a boolean, yes, but it has a different % chance to work vs. different sized monsters:

Vs. large (eLarge): 32/128
Vs. small (eSmall): 128/128
everyone else: 64/128

Not really important though.

reduce-ac: It only works similar to ignore targets defence IF the valuie is negative. The mod's effect is to reduce the targets defence to the % value, and therefor the defence will end up negative with items like Eth rune. Use positive values and it works as it should.

Just tested it (v1.09b DLLs) and the att-skill was working with melee attacks for the skills I tested (frost nova and ice blast). Neither would work with ranged attacks. And most of the targets were too hard too hit very often normally, so it was going off just because the attack was initiated.

[Myhrginoc]

Another nit: for the per-level modifiers, the number in the Param field is the divisor, so a /lvl modifier increases 1 for every value levels attained. For value=8 as most are, that is a one point increase for every 8 character levels.

reduce-ac: It only works similar to ignore targets defence IF the valuie is negative. The mod's effect is to reduce the targets defence to the % value, and therefor the defence will end up negative with items like Eth rune. Use positive values and it works as it should.

Heck, if it worked as it should you would get (mon-ac)*(100%—reduce-ac). As it is now, it gives you (mon-ac)*(reduce-ac), and if you stack it, you are lessening its effect (unless you are stacking Eth runes). I believe the "ITD effect" of Eth works on bosses, since it isn't really ITD code being used.

[Isolde]

I really dont think they would do such a lame mistake, but oops, havent they done something even lamer with reanimate

I should point out that calling reanimate bugged is a stretch: it would only be bugged if there were actually items that dropped with the reanimate property. (i guess i should mention i didn't work on it myself, so i'm not being defensive here).

Getting something like reanimate to work properly isn't exactly trivial. it absolutely has to be cast when you kill the monster (and hence the victim's in mode DT), but then it must somehow trigger an effect on the monster when it reaches DD several frames later. that being said, it isn't terribly hard to fix either.

Anyway, d2 has plenty of n00b mistakes, but i wouldn't call reanimate one of them. dumb mistakes would be the idiotic star-shaped circles or the off-by-one error in item mod calculation. point being that whoever it is that worked on reanimate probably knew why it didn't work but decided to work on something else instead as being more worthwhile.

[jbouley]

Even if you were responsible for some of the more egregious bugs, I'd be more than happy to forgive you for all the help you've been around these parts and on behalf of modders. Plenty of love (platonic, of course) to go around for Isolde in these parts.

Just tested it (v1.09b DLLs) and the att-skill was working with melee attacks for the skills I tested (frost nova and ice blast). Neither would work with ranged attacks. And most of the targets were too hard too hit very often normally, so it was going off just because the attack was initiated.

Phew! Thank goodness. Too bad about the lack of use on ranged weapons...I knew that wasn't working right, and it's too bad because I had so many plans for fireball bows and lightning bows and things like that.

Anyway, d2 has plenty of n00b mistakes, but i wouldn't call reanimate one of them. dumb mistakes would be the idiotic star-shaped circles or the off-by-one error in item mod calculation. point being that whoever it is that worked on reanimate probably knew why it didn't work but decided to work on something else instead as being more worthwhile.

Everyone makes misstakes. If you guys haven't done this game, we wouldn't have so much fun that we have

It's always easy to call all unfinished things for misstakes. Since reanimate is not used by diablo. It's hard to call its a misstake at all.

Just tested it (v1.09b DLLs) and the att-skill was working with melee attacks for the skills I tested (frost nova and ice blast). Neither would work with ranged attacks. And most of the targets were too hard too hit very often normally, so it was going off just because the attack was initiated.

Good too know that this works. Good also too know about range attack, i haven't used this on range attack so this is not a problem. But could if i had tried that.

EDIT: Since reanimate is cast during DT. Shouldn't this be easy to change it so it cast during DD? (if it's easy please give the adress for this someone).

@ Kingpin: nope, not that easy. Corpses aren't targetable when the enemy is still in DT, and you can't make hit-skills have delayed effects. :/

@ Isolde: every programmer makes mistakes. The QA and the open beta test are there to catch them. Seems like neither the QA nor the damn 5,000 beta testers noticed that blade shield interrupted other attacks, or have even used blades of ice or lightning strike at all. If over 5K people did not notice that in weeks of play, then the programmer is really not to blame.

@ Hammerman: but it is not a boolean in missiles.txt, right?

in missiles.txt is 0-100%.
I fixed the reanimate thingy by making it use other skills such as summoning flying reapers for fun. But even that is bugged it knocks the summons into DT mode until they get unloaded and reloaded, I actually had MOVING DDs! . In XyRAX I hijacked this modifier for the chance to trap yourself modifier.

Updated it
If some one wants to download the list for offline use and doesnt want to copy past alot -> http://tswto.d2mods.com/txt/MCMS.txt

Im turning this into a sticky if no one has any objections.

Thought I'd put in my feedback on the rep-dur and rep-quant mods. They don't appear to work exactly as you stated them in the list. rep-dur seems to replenish the durability by 1 for every 100 / X seconds. I don't think it can go any higher than 3 seconds due to the cap in itemstatcost.txt (2^5 = 32 -> 100/32 ~ 3 seconds).
rep-dur4
rep-dur5
rep-dur10
rep-dur20
rep-dur25
rep-dur50
After playing around with rep-quant a bit, it seems to work pretty much the same.

IIRC it can be anything between 1-100 seconds, with 1 being 100 and 100 being 0, this is atleast what my testing resulted at. Thought ill include this additional data in the next update to the list. (when 1.10 is out probably)

Thx for the headsup.
